If you're using it outside in the observatory and you prefer the 4:3, you should be able to pick up a 4:3 for next to nothing used. That's what I will do when...
Hi Bill, Is there a way to draw a map with an RA/Dec Grid for an old epoch in a simple cylindrical projection. If I keep the J2000 frame for the grid, the...
That's my thinking Tim. My eyepieces aren't 16:9. My camera isn't 16:9. Just can't think of how 16:9 would benefit the observatory application. Pete...
It is a *great* benefit when you look beyond just viewing images. When you have multiple applications open, a wide-screen aspect monitor is great because with...
i have two 22" 16:9 monitors in my observatory.....Guide is on one of them and other programs are displayed on the other. I also have them attached to the wall...

See below..... ... Nope. I have always used c:\guide\etc ... Did the delete - no difference. ... 19 April 2012 This is all done on my 'main' computer. I have...
Hi Bill, I have the same result as Lawrence. And as mentioned in my previous message. The setting to show only the first 100 numbered asteroids does not help....
Rencently, I realised that User Data set doens't give me access to WDA Catalog. It look like if the list of User dataset is cutoff at the Letter U. Any...
Hi Gerhard, Lawrence, ... Gerhard, by this do you mean: "the update fixed the problem briefly, but now the bright asteroids are back?" Or in your case, ...
Hi Pierre, I see what's going on here... I put an updated version of WDS on the Guide 9 DVD, but the .tdf is pointing to the old file which no longer exists! ...
... The bug was never fixed on my system. But I have to mention that I am running version Guide8 only at the moment. Guide9 with additional German language...
Hi Bill, I donwload the wds_new.tdf in my GUIDE 9.0 in my directory, but it doen't change anything. The WDS is still unavailable. WDS is my main concern...

There is probably a way to identify the date/time of the next solar eclipse (of any magnitude) visible from Britain - using Guide. I tried finding a solar...
Hi Lawrence, You have to search from an eclipse map, see in the user book page 63 : ... Two options in the "Extras" menu are deserving of mention. Suppose you...
I did find out this morning that previous posts from other Guide users about the queue of shipments of UCAC-4 from USNO were correct: If you have ordered/been...
Extras ->Show Eclipse -> Next (rpt Next until you find it): 2015 Mar 20 09:45:40 UT. Then zoom in on map to your location and right-click. (Mine gives max mag...
If you mean total or ringshaped eclipses, I did a search for the continental Netherlands and there has been none since 1336 or so; the next one is somewhere...
I was looking at the local circumstances of the recent solar eclipse on May 20. I noticed that the eastern limit for the partial eclipse is drawn farther west...
